I've been wondering who are the worst anime characters to ask for relationship advice. So far I thought of Yujiro Hanma from Baki, because he would absolutely invade your privacy in the worst moments and "coach", and Mei Mei from Jujutsu Kaisen because she would not only charge a lot of money for "consultation fees", but worse, her advice would be really really bad since she is both a sociopath and a groomer...

        It's funny because I like Roshi and his fighting style (and was glad when they brought him back in Dragon Ball Super).

        The only thing I hate about him is his perverseness, which is basically a relic of the 1980s humor of the original Dragon Ball manga.

      Goku is the ultimate deadbeat dad. He just keeps dying and when he's dead he doesn't try to come back to life but instead fucks off to fight in the afterlife tournaments.

      Definitely... If I remember correctly he never kissed his wife once, even though they had multiple kids. The guy would probably just tell you "If she is mad at you, just go train all day and everything will be fine"...

                I'm guessing that my-hero fucked the bird site up so badly that it gets indexed poorly in Google results.

                Then again, I'm also too stupid to understand those kinds of things.

        he cares only about finding his brother, and training with his master. His childhood friend, became his personal gundam mechanic, willing to pilot one to protect him, despite not knowing how, and he only realizes she likes him after she gets captured by a suit litterally called devil gundam, the suit that also corrupted his brother.

        Domon from G Gundam. He basically platonically dates his coworker for a year and can't express his feelings for her because his love language is karate.

    akio ohtori. loves giving advice but is always focusing on ruining your life and fucking you
    mcgillis from gundam ibo. it's possible that he's running a scheme where he'll kill you. it's possible he's sincere and trying to help you! either way you're fucked if you listen to him

      Yeah, I didn't even consider malice in the equation, I originally thought of "who would be so hilariously bad at relationship advice even if they try their best", but you're right, malice is worse than anything any well meaning awful advice would be.

        to be clear, akio spends the entire show grooming and abusing (and in many cases having sex with) the whole cast of the show, most of whom are children (ranging from 12 to 17). huge piece of shit, and incredible at picking advice that fucks you over

          Akio would probably be buds with corporate-art. The whole "under qualified for his role at a school" bit matches up lol

    Zetsubou Sensei because he would just say

    "oh yeah, that's a problem for kids these days, well I guess you could just fucking go kill yourself that would solve your problems."

    "Actualy thats a genius idea."

    cue gag with Kafka saving him as always.

    I'm rewatching Gekkan-Shoujo Nozaki-Kun and... definitely Umetaro Nozaki. Most of the characters there actually tbf.

    Otoh, I'm just as aroace as he is, unless the Manga is a spoilsport.
